Martin highlighted that Durant picked the wrong situation when he decided to team up with Irving in Brooklyn, adding that he would have had a “major issue” with the veteran guard after everything that happened. “If not him, then trade me,” Martin said when asked whether Durant should ask the Nets to move on from Irving. “He has to go man, because it’s not about us. … We athletes are selfish to a certain degree, but when that selfishness comes before our team and what we’re trying to accomplish, then that’s a problem.”
